This can take a while (maybe 10-15 minutes sometimes). I wouldn't mess with anything else.unless you know what you're doing. You download & install Onyx.open it.click on the "Execute" button (or whatever it's changes with the version of Onyx).then let it do it's thing. The app I usually recommend is called "Onyx".
This way you get the benefit of the speed of an SSD.and the lower storage cost (gigs/$$$) of a larger SSD.īut if a large 1TB SSD works for you.then just installing one drive is fine.
This is a nice setup.since the SSD can be setup to be your boot drive (where the macOS is installed).which makes everything feel faster.then you can install a large HD as the 2nd drive. Member "rachalmers" mentioned having two internal drives installed.one HD & one SSD. If your 2012 Mac-Mini has an optical drive.and you no longer need the optical drive.then you could install two internal storage drives (I believe a special install kit may be needed for the 2nd storage drive). The 2012 server version came with two hard drives (no optical drive). The "regular" version came with a storage drive (hard drive) and an optical drive (DVD/CD drive). Basically it depends on your budget.Ģ012 Mac-Mini's (as far as installed internal drives) came in two versions.a "regular" version.and a server version. For example.a 1TB HD and a 1TB SSD will be very different price. Installing an SSD will definitely make the computer feel faster.but you need to remember that the cost/gigabyte for HD's vs. If no maintenance has been done on it lately (or ever).this would be an easy (and free) thing to try first. On the other hand.maybe the computer needs some maintenance done on it. And sometimes a hard drive that's too full will cause slowness. Can't really say unless a new HD is installed. It's a 7 year old computer.so slowness could be a sign of a failing hard drive. I'm guessing with the 16gig of RAM currently 's more than what's needed.Īs far as a possible failing hard drive. If the apps you use on a regular basis have all the RAM they need.then having extra RAM will not help. After a certain point.more RAM will not speed things up. Even if the RAM could be increased.I doubt that it would speed things up.
Nope.16gig of RAM is the max for a 2012 Mac-Mini.
